Part 6 of my Tremulous Skills programme, taking you from a Trem noob to a Trem pro.

Trem Skills #6 deals with, the best weapon I think for use against aliens.

The best kind of weapon I think to use against aliens are ones that do not require to be reloaded. These weapons are the Lasgun and the Chaingun (you could possible include the Lucifer cannon as well).

Why are these the best weapons to use? You don’t have to reload them! Why is this good? Because every time you have to reload your weapon you are giving the alien opponent a free hit on you, as you are not able to attack them whilst reloading.

Reload times can be costly and having to reload a rifle every 30 bullets can often result in you being taken down by dretches, especially during the early stages of the game before you have a helmet.

Summing Up:

The Lasgun and Chaingun are the best weapons to use in Tremulous without them you can easily be killed during your reload time. Lasgun with a battery pack is a highly effective combination as it gives you an extra 100 rounds, it is also far more effective on the Dretch unit than the Chaingun is as the Chaingun is as not as accurate as the Lasgun shooting long distances.
